Ayu Schedule #3 - TV Appearances, Magazines, etc.

[truehappiness]

I doubt she wasn't invited... why would lesser acts get an invitation and Ayu not? It just doesn't add up imo.

She probably had to reject due to other commitments on the same day or something and it's not big enough of a deal for her to announce it on her blog, or if she does, she might do it on the day of the event.

MSSL was explained since she was on the guest list and at the last minute, had to be taken off. Since she was never officially on the guest list for FNS to begin with, it's not that big of a deal... perhaps they were holding out on her to accept, and she never did? [Last year, I think she was part of the last set of performers to be confirmed for the show.]

Because there might be some unknown reason why not. Obviously we don't know what goes on behind the scenes of these shows or Ayu's team.

I totally don't buy promo as being the reason - she could have performed it early or performed something entirely different; she's done it in past years.

Plus, you would have to think that by the time Ayu had the release date of 12/16, FNS likely would have already been decided upon. I doubt just because of the release date change FNS is going to say "oh sure, no problem. you can cancel the performance."

If this were for a scheduling reason, I really, really think she would have explained it on TA since I'm sure everyone in TA is wondering why she didn't perform.

Sure it doesn't make sense that "early promo" is the reason and I agree that she could've sang something else other than the new songs, not that it would matter as she performed JEWEL months before Secret was released.

On the other hand I don't think she shares everything with TA and if they actually asked her I'm pretty sure she'd answer. On the other hand we didn't get the latest blog updates as far as I know
